I may have made an incorrect assumption based on pico's original post.

If you are installing NUT via the Ubuntu packages, then you should not
have to do anything more than changing a few variables (in
/etc/default/nut; refer to /usr/share/doc/nut/README.Debian for more
Debian/Ubuntu-specific configuration). As Arjen explained for SuSE,
Ubuntu already has changed the scripts in their package.

However, if you are installing from source, you can still use the
startup/shutdown scripts as a guide. I forgot to mention earlier that
you will need to link /etc/init.d/nut into the appropriate shutdown
directory (probably /etc/rc0.d; my Ubuntu box is not on at the
moment).
